I don't fully understand your question. If you mean my acute infection, it was bad, 91% spo2 bilateral delta pneumonia. If you mean my long covid symptoms....2 years of pure hell....burning hands/feet, blurred vision, sob, chest pains, brain fog, dysmotility. To name a few.

I definitely don't think my immune system is performing normally. Just was specifically mentioning the thymus part cause they said its rare for people to have an intact thymus when most by 30 went through a full involution.

A lazy immune system makes sense, but the lack of thymus being an attributor does not. I still have most of my thymus noted on my CT with contrast as "favored residual thymic tissue" as a 30 year old, yet still abysmally low specs and long covid.

I thought long haulers were over inflammed, yet (correct me if I am wrong) the wording of OP and what you state is saying there is no more inflammation whatsoever happening in regard to these two cytokines specifically.

So I guess perhaps there is an over expression in other ones?
